Hurricane Claudette (1951)

Hurricane Claudette was the 3rd named storm and the first hurricane of the 1951 Hurricane Season.

History
As Tropical Storm Brenton approached South Carolina, a tropical wave became Invest 1951-3E, and hours later became Tropical Storm Claudette. As it moved Northwest, it intensified into a category 1 hurricane. Hurricane Claudette briefly weakened back down to a tropical storm before regaining strength, now moving straight North. It soon weakened into a tropical storm before dissipating in the Arctic Circle.
